eventually catch the thrust shaft and allow you to open or close the locking jaw at its new lead screw position.

When you slide the jaw to a new position, you can see where the nearest lead screw groove is by looking through the slot above the lead screw. (See Figure 1.)

Changing the locking jaw location:

1.Lift the quick release handle.

2.Slide the jaw until it contacts the workpiece.

3.Turn the lead screw handle until the thrust shaft drops into a groove.

4.Further turning of the lead screw handle will either clamp or release the workpiece in the vise. Turn clockwise to increase clamping pressure. Turn counterclockwise to release clamping pressure.

Adjusting stationary jaw: straight cuts

For accurate right angle or "straight" cutting, adjust the vise as follows:

1.Disconnect the saw from its electrical power source to prevent accidental start-ups.

2.With the saw arm and blade in horizontal position, place a machinist's square against the blade and station- ary vise jaw. (See Figure 2.)

3.If the vise jaw is not square to the blade, loosen both the pivot and lock bolts shown in Figure 1, and adjust the jaw until it is square.

4.Tighten the pivot and lock bolts.

5.Reconnect electrical power to the saw.

Stationary vise jaw

The stationary vise jaw pivots on the pivot bolt, Figure 1, and is locked at any required angle by the lock bolt.

There are two different table positions for the stationary vise jaw. One position is used for right angle cuts ("straight" cutting) and the other position is used for cutting of all other angles. Moving the vise from one position to the other requires unbolting and re-bolting the jaw to the saw table.

Four tapped holes in the saw table allow a change of pivot and lock bolt position. The holes in the right-most position closest to the motor are used for right angle cutting. The holes in the left-most position are used for all angle cutting.

Changing the stationary vise jaw position:

1.Remove the pivot and lock bolts.

2.Slide the stationary jaw to the required position on the table.

3.Re-insert the pivot and lock bolts.

4.Adjust stationary jaw angle according to requirements for straight or angle cuts, then tighten both bolts securely.

Figure 2: Setting the stationary jaw at right angles to the saw blade.

Adjusting stationary jaw: angle cuts

The angle of the stationary vise jaw with respect to the saw blade is what determines the cut angle on the workpiece. The stationary jaw can be adjusted to any angle between 0 degrees (right angle to the blade) and 45 degrees.

In order to cut angles, however, it will be necessary for you to move the stationary vise jaw to its left-most set of attachment holes as described in the following sections.

After placing the jaw in the angle cutting position, you can adjust to the desired cutting angle using one of the two following methods.

J-3410-2, J-3410 specifications

Jet Tools is renowned for its high-quality woodworking and metalworking equipment, and the J-3410 and J-3410-2 drill presses are prime examples of this commitment to excellence. These machines are engineered for precision, durability, and efficiency, appealing to both hobbyists and professional craftsmen.

The J-3410 features a robust 1 HP motor that provides ample power for a variety of drilling applications. This strength enables it to handle a wide range of materials, making it versatile enough for various projects. The machine operates at five different speeds, ranging from 600 to 3,100 RPM, allowing users to select the ideal speed for the specific material and drill bit size they are using. This versatility is crucial for achieving the desired results, whether it’s delicate woodwork or tougher metals.

One of the standout features of the J-3410 is its adjustable table, which can tilt up to 45 degrees, facilitating angled drilling. The table is constructed from heavy-duty cast iron, ensuring stability and reducing vibration, which is vital for precision work. Additionally, this model comes with a built-in laser guide that provides an accurate reference point for drilling, enhancing user efficiency and accuracy.

The J-3410-2 model builds upon the features of the J-3410, offering dual laser guides for even greater precision. These guides help users easily align the drill bit, ensuring that holes are drilled exactly where intended. The dual lasers also enhance visibility, especially in low-light environments. This model also includes a larger work table, allowing for drilling operations on bigger workpieces without compromising stability.

Both models are equipped with a heavy-duty, quick-adjust depth stop. This feature allows for consistency in repetitive drilling tasks, which is essential for users who need to achieve uniform results. They also feature an easy-to-use belt and pulley system for speed changes, ensuring that the transition between different speeds is effortless.

Safety is paramount in the design of the J-3410 and J-3410-2 press. A protective on/off switch prevents accidental start-ups, while the cast iron construction enhances overall stability and reduces the likelihood of accidents during operation.

The Jet Tools J-3410 and J-3410-2 combine power, precision, and safety, making them excellent choices for anyone in need of reliable drilling equipment. Whether for professional use or personal projects, these drill presses stand out in their class, showcasing Jet's commitment to quality and innovation.
